Samsung Captivate Android Phone vs The iPhone

samsung captivate android phone vs the iphone4

There she be. The Samsung Captivate Android Phone. People are freaking out about it. And myself, being a mac fan and loving iPhone, decided to look into what all this hoopla is about.

The following is One More Gadget’s comparison between The Samsung Captivate Android Phone VS The iPhone 4 and some answers to questions we had. (the important ones).

What does android mean (in regards to phones?)

It means it’s Google’s operating system. In short, it means it’s not the iPhone. Which right away is a negative in my books. However different, it’s still fast and impressive.

But being different also means it doesn’t have the iPhone apps. It has their own apps. But it’s popular. More popular than I expected. With over 70,000 available apps it comes pretty close to the iPhone.

What’s so good about it, really?

I was surprised to find out it had a 5-megapixel camera and 720 HD video recording compared to the 3 mp camera in the iPhone. However, when seeing both, the quality on both is pretty amazing but the iPhone is just so instinctive and simple to use that it takes the cake for me. And seriously, having a phone that gives me the opportunity to video chat, with the slight potential of calling the wrong number and seeing a hotty naked seals the deal.

Other comparisons are the size. The iPhone is actually a little bit smaller. But the screen quality, even with iPhone’s retina display, which knocks my socks off, actually doesn’t measure up to the Samsung. Yup, I’m seeing it and I still don’t believe it. Steve Jobs said amazing about 100 times in that conference but I guess he never saw the Samsung first.

I’m an accessory junky. I love all the case options for the iPhone, and the integration with iTunes is pretty awesome. I may need some more arm twisting to switch to an android phone. The marketing companies will have to do a better job than jumping on a ‘faulty’ antenna to get me to switch. After testing the iPhone 4, I’m just not seeing this antenna problem.

Here’s a complete in depth comparison between these two phones so you can judge for yourself.

Duck Hunt Game for the Real Life

Real Life Duck Hunt Game

This game is pretty wicked. It’s a Duck Hunt game for the ‘real world’. One person shoots the gun – one person flies the duck. It also comes with a remote control for the duck so you can fly around.

Just like the original Nintendo game the duck gently drops to the ground when it’s shot. It’s pretty sweet. I love it.

But I’m always paranoid about playing this game in a park. Whenever I miss a duck I’m expecting a dog to jump out of the bushes and laugh at me.

One of the most unmistakable, unimaginable gadgets for this year has got to be the Detachable Vuvuzela.  FIFA 2010 World Cup Fans eat your heart out. There seems to be a surplus of these. Probably has something to with the fact they are banned everywhere.

Hide things in the back with the iMac BackPack™

imac backpack adjustable shelf

A company by the name of TwelveSouth has come up with some pretty sweet additions for your mac products. And they actually make them even cooler. Yah I know eh? Like that’s even possible.

One of my favorite ideas is the BackPack. It’s an adjustable shelf that attaches to the back of the iMac.

iMac Backpack

Here are some features:

• Perfect for hiding portable hard drives, card readers or other USB gadgets
• Keeps things off the desktop
• Since it’s adjustable there’s enough room for two, or three
• They match the quality of the iMac and are ventilated for devices to stay cool
• Easily adjustable and will not scratch

All that sounds great and all, but what I like the best is that it’s not actually a backpack. What a relief.

Ah who am I kidding. Slap an apple logo on grandmas pound cake and I’m buying it.
